yebaah!

Having seen the first Hulk installment, I must admit that I was bracing myself for another disappointment.  The Eric Bana starrer was too dark for my taste, heavy and full of melodrama that dragged on and on and on.  After all, I watch this sort of movie to entertain myself.  If I wanted something deep and thought-provoking, I’d watch something Shakespearean or Freudian maybe. 

I didn’t mind that the filmmakers made the Hulk so huge, but I certainly found myself getting annoyed how they made whatever little action scenes the Hulk had too fast and too hazy.  No wonder it sank in the box office.

But it’s a good thing that Marvel didn’t give up on the Hulk and took another plunge.  This time with Edward Norton as the troubled scientist who turns green when angry.  The filmmakers made the storyline simple and close to its cartoon origins.  They even downsized the Hulk to believable dimensions and used the original music.  The movie doesn’t try to be intellectual either.  Best of all, it is fast-paced, action packed and entertaining!

I’m not going to tell you bits of the story, just go watch it!
